Taiwan Stock Exchange (TSE) adopts International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in 2013. In the past, firms used historical costs as the fair value in the financial statement. Therefore, measuring the fair value of emerging stock becomes the most important issue after adopting IFRS. Unlike the listed companies, the emerging stock is illiquid and the financial information is less prevailed. The closing price of the emerging stock might be manipulated. Therefore, the models commonly used for the listed stocks might not be appropriate for assessing the fair value of the emerging stock. Referring Silber (1991), this study employs available publicly accounting and market data and develop a liquidity discount model to evaluation the fair price of the emerging stocks. The calculated fair price is compared with the prices commonly used in the market. Three commonly used fair prices are the closing price of emerging stock, the average monthly price used by security dealers, and the underwriting price developed by the Securities and Futures Institute (SFI). The results show that the liquidity discount is significantly associated with the company profitability and the scale of the private placement. Furthermore, this study employs Theil's U to verify the fair price developed by the liquidity discount model. The results show the some emerging stock prices are overvalued. |
